When we look around and say, do we have such an opportunity in Asia that for the innovative companies and startups to showcase their products? There are really very limited opportunities. This is a great platform. I hope more people will be coming each year.Neil SHEN, Founding & Managing Partner of HongShan Capital

Our theme ‘Empowering Asia, Bridging the World’ reflects a powerful shift. Asia is no longer just a manufacturing base—it’s now a global hub for innovation in AI, robotics, and smart manufacturing. It takes openness, exchange, and collaboration. That’s why BEYOND matters. It brings together the best of Asia and the world to share ideas, build partnerships, and co-create the future.Kai-Fu LEE, Founder of 01.AI and Chairman of Sinovation Ventures
